    Dylan Penn was spotted hanging out with Emile Hirsch after attending a screening of her new film, Flag Day.

    The actress, 30, who stars in the film with her father Sean Penn, was spotted chatting with the actor, 36, at the Sunset Tower Hotel in Los Angeles on Wednesday evening.

    The duo were spotted briefly together, chatting away as they left the iconic building.

    Penn and Hirsch were pictured speaking closely to one another as they climbed down the stairs, before the actress took the lead and moved several paces ahead of the Into the Wild actor.

    Perhaps the pair were discussing Penn’s new role in the upcoming drama Flag Day. 

    Penn stars opposite her father Sean, who plays John Vogel, a magnetizing figure who charms his daughter Jennifer (played as an adult by Dylan).

    However, what starts as a family drama takes a turn into thriller territory after it’s revealed that John is one of the most notorious counterfeiters in US history.

    As an adult, Jennifer has to struggle to find her own path in life while moving past the crimes of her father.

    The father–daughter due were on hand at the Cannes Film Festival last month, where Flag Day premiered in competition.

    Despite heavy anticipation for their new film, it was poorly received by critics when it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, though more will weigh in before its official release in the US on August 20.

    Hirsch has quite the busy filming schedule as of late as well, with roles in a number of films including The Legitimate Wiseguy, Dig, and State of Consciousness. He also has lent his voice to the newly released animated film, Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans.

    In addition to his acting career, Hirsch’s legal woes have also landed him in headlines. 

    In 2015 Hirsch was sentenced to 15 days in jail and 50 hours of community service following an assault on a female studio executive during the Sundance Film Festival in January.

    Daniele Bernfeld, an executive for the Paramount Pictures subsidiary Insurge Pictures, told police that Hirsch put her in a chokehold from behind, dragged her across a table and body slammed her to the floor.

    The details were revealed in investigative documents obtained through a public records request by the Associated Press.

    Hirsch said he didn’t remember exactly what happened, saying only that she came at him and he was defending himself.

    Bernfeld was initially apprehensive about pursuing charges the night of the January 25, 2015 incident at Tao Nightclub in Park City due to the ‘sensitive nature’ of her work and Hirsch’s high profile, reports showed.

    She said the next day that she changed her mind because word of the incident, and her name, had already leaked out to the public and media.

    ‘I am fundamentally not OK with what happened,’ Bernfeld said the night of the incident, red marks visible on her neck. ‘It was insanely painful and absolutely terrifying.’

    Hirsch was questioned and handcuffed the night of the incident, but released and not formally charged until nearly three weeks later.

    He was charged with aggravated assault and intoxication. The felony assault was punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

    That night, slurring his words and struggling to balance, Hirsch said he had had three or four drinks.

    Several days after the incident, he entered rehab.
